Absolutely wonderful. The odor of roast coffee is a part. Smells great, tastes a lot and the aftertaste lingers long. Yes I have no more than to say that this is a wonderful beer. Why do not I give it a 20 rating is because I think it could probably be better. Dryness in the beer. Understand why the beer is called Idjit ½ (½ idiot in English) It is half a fool if you do not drink it.

500 ml bottle
When browsing the clearance aisle during a beer run I found this for $3.49. Figuring it couldnt be that bad I bit. Overall the price was right. Im not sure I would have been willing for pay much more than that for a middle of the road porter. Your mileage may vary though if you come across a lone bottle.

Aroma / Appearance - A fluid black base soaks up the light. Eventually the beige head settles down to a light dusting. Spiced black coffee, malt, and black raspberry lend credence to the medium body. Chocolate malt balls wrap it nicely.

Flavor / Palate - Truffles, black coffee, and oily textures make the trek across the palate into a chewy bitter finish. The long lasting bite could be better balanced. Overall though it does everything it says on the side of the bottle.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 7.0%. BB date 08.11.2013. Lumpy sediment in the bottle. Cloudy and very dark brown colour, moderate beige head. Pleasant aroma of chocolate, cocoa and mild coffee, hints of vanilla. The flavour is fresh and slightly fruity, fairly dry, again with notes of chocolate / cocoa, hints of vanilla and a whiff of smoke, moderate hops in the finish.

Bottle @ home. Almost opaque dark brown color, medium sized beige head. Aroma is malts, dark malts, a hint of coffee, dark cocoa in the background. Taste malts, toasted malts, a hint of hazelnuts, again some cocoa, softly bitter. Decent body and carbonation. Also: when pouring in the second part of the bottle huge white chunks of yeast residu -I guess, but it looked like some kind of mold or fungus- came with it which looked absolutely disgusting.
